NFL 2022

The Falcons have traded Matt Ryan to the Colts for a third round pick.

Didn’t see that one coming. The arms race in the AFC is intense.

Hmmmm, Isn't that where Baker said he Wanted to go ?
Appearntly, Thats Not and option for him anymore, obviously Indy didn't feel the same way ...

Where does Baker go now ?
Seattle ????
Atlanta ????

Typical Browns move - they lost ODB, Jarvis Landry and the rest of the WR's outside of Cooper looks like a list of "umm, who?" and they give up THRE 1st round picks for a QB that didn't play last year, faces legal issues still land probable suspension by the NFL.

Even forgetting the not playing and legal issues, the salary is too high and the squad isn't remotely built to be 'just a QB away' like Tampa. I can't see how they can afford Miles Garrett, who is one of the NFL's best defensive players period, and utterly unreplaceable... just to have Watson as QB. Even if he does play... and he does great... I don't see how the Browns are making the playoffs, forget about winning in the playoffs. You need a team to win football games!

Not saying that I agree, but apparently Vegas doesn’t agree that the Browns won’t make the playoffs.

Atlanta is OUT, looks like Marcus Mariota will be signing with the Falcons.

Yeah, they felt likewise this past year. Some were thinking real big for Cleveland when it was clearly not there. The Browns coaching hasn't improved at all. Their defense is good. Their offense is limited with passing options. They have a potentially awesome QB, with potentially one of the best RB's in the league (we do know that RBs can fade, I hope Chubbs keeps playing well), but coaching is required to utilize this talent and I'm not impressed. This isn't the Patriots where they kept turning good receivers into solid production talent. And the AFC North is legitimately a tough division. Add all this together, assuming first in the AFC North is just fools wasting their money.

I saw Carolina seems to be interested.

So, there Carolina and Seattle left .... doesn't Carolina have a starter already ? I've lost track.

We easily make the playoffs if Baker stays reasonably healthy.

They did the best they could with limited unhealthy Baker. Baker is limited due to his inability to see the Whole field. is that from his height or vision is the Big question.

Baker is 6'1", so its definitely not a height issue, there are plenty of not 6' 4" and up Qbs.
Russel Wilson seems to do pretty good at 5' 11".

Bakers issues are in his head ....
Or his lack of dedication ....

He's a much better Commercial guy, than a QB.

Sadly, I saw an article today that said, IF the Browns Cut him, the Steelers May go after him ...

Please don't ruin our Steelers ...

 

[AZ.]

Please don't ruin our Steelers ...

Wait till you see the Mitch Trubisky show!...He will drive right down the field then turn it over....I cant believe anybody wants him, good 3rd stringer!

Is it? The guy played hurt most of last season. His problem is, he is a good QB, not a great one and the coaching staff is not very good, and definitely unproven. I think of this, most specifically, when Garrett vented a bit about how the coaching just had absolutely no idea what to do when playing the Patriots.

Browns were 6-8 with him at the helm last season, and the Browns didn't have an easy schedule this past year.

Wow, and word is Hill's new contract with the Fins will supposedly be the biggest ever for a WR!!

EDIT: 4 years, $120M extension, $72.2M guaranteed....

 

[Yespage]

Did the NFL get rid of the Cap? Because a bunch of these signings make it look like they got rid of the Cap.

Miami signs huge WR who'll be effective in drawing double coverage. Patriots won a lot of Super Bowls because they had an army of potential receivers and only once had what was considered a top star at WR.

I’ve never seen so many big names switch teams.

Yeah, it wasn't too long ago that guys like Hill and Adams were "untouchables".

"Poor" Davonte Adams. He was the highest paid NFL receiver for what, like a week?

 

[BillD1984]

Malcolm Butler is returning to the Patriots.

 

[Jimbo]

We shall see ....
I'm hoping he learned a lot from Jared Allen last year.
